Thanks once again for the links Marilynn.

I'm not sure if you've ever mentioned this one, but I am finding a lot of useful information on it.

I have started up my own Blog called "Write First Time". I've been waiting for an OK by author Denise Rossetti before I publish the rest of her interview. Then I'm going to post the rest of the alphabet.

You can find it at http://write-first-time.blogspot.com

And I've quoted you once so far in the "C"'s :)

After having 150 unread Blogs on my Google reader list when I returned from a vacation recently, I know the world doesn't really need another Blog, however hopefully mine has some uses.
